Teppen & friends look back on what we enjoyed in 2025. The premise was simple. Shout out the things we loved during (not necessarily from) the year. No other rules.
From K-pop to 1990s Indycar, it's exactly what we mean by "writing about whatever we want"

The themed-level is a trope in old platformer games that are almost expected. The snow level, the water level, the space level, and so on. We always see them coming but aren’t ever that delighted t…

Some photos from 12/30 at Bar Isshee of myself & Momose Yasunaga. I have settled into substitute teacher/utilitarian zones, while Momose, traveler of the idol world, is always on point with her fashion. We had only played together for about 7-10 mins during soundcheck, but have each other’s albums.

When I did Guitar Craft courses I was young & full of self doubt. I chewed gum, & learned that I subconsciously kept time w/ my chewing. They would say “just look at Jeff, he chews in time” Ear training made me nervous in front of 20-30 people but I would ”ummm” at right pitch, deep down I knew it.

I mentioned elsewhere that I got my Game Boy in the early 90s & still have it. Here’s a photo I took of it a few years back. Those are my initial games I got within a year or two (I have gotten way more games over the decades). I never added to that case and keep it as a time capsule, I suppose.

Teppen was among 5 outlets that covered & then interviewed Yuka about her new company.
If you sit online ignoring this chapter of her career while mining her past for online clout & accidentally saw an ACT match this decade last May, you’re missing the point of why she even got into this business.

Teppen! at the ACTRIUM press conference. More soon.
Act was so happy; the main point of her company was her various ideas done on her terms. I remember her running it by me last winter & then emailing me that she was gonna ask AWG permission to start her own company. A lot of work & worth it.

I’ll be playing at Bar Isshee on 12/30 w/ Momose Yasunaga. She’s a modular idol, building up dreamy soundscapes w/ her banks of modules. She’s toured Europe & in this video performed at the Arturia office using their gear. The 2 of us closing out the year for the venue
